Helpful Staff, great products

I went in store knowing what I wanted after being in there the day prior, they helped me with the sizes and recommending how I'd fit everything in the small space I have by swapping parts of the sofa in different places which was really helpful.
So big shout to Pamela for her time and thoroughness in helping me.

Obviously you have all the extras that get thrown your way when buying but they do tell you and are quite happy to let you know you can decline all of them if you wish.

The show room was well stocked with a verity of settee and chairs in a number of styles and colours. I went back after a earlier visit were i had talked to a very helpful assistant how had given me some very helpful advice .
His name was mark and I could tell when he gave me the advice he was not just interested in making a sale but understood the customer need the right product.
On my second visit to the show rooms I waited to talk to mark again and ended up getting a different more expensive settee and chair and was very impressed with the service.
I could see when I was in store all members of staff had the same work ethic

Really disappointed with my experience…

Really disappointed with my experience at DFS Gateshead. I was told by Lewis when I bought my sofa that if it didn’t fit, it could be remade into smaller pieces. After two failed delivery attempts, I was then told this wasn’t possible.

It took over a week for the store manager, Lee, to call me back. When he finally did, he spoke to me very dismissively, denied what I’d been told in store, and tried to charge me 20% for an order that cannot be delivered. I now have no sofa, no resolution, and they still have my money.

The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism from both Lewis and Lee has been shocking.

The sales advisor was very helpful but not pushy. He quickly found out the specific requirements i had, showed me the range that would be suitable then left me to browse before coming over later to see how i was doing. I bought a corner sofa and footstool that will be great for the holiday house i am renovating.

Real trust and confidence and not pushy

Mark was very helpful but also gave me space. As it happened I happily settled with the most expensive chair option, but he did encourage me to consider all others too, which really increased my trust in him a lot.
